The magic of ventriloquism creates a hybrid atmosphere that sways between the satirical and the disturbing. Bodies and voices separate from each other in an intertwined dialogue that aims to get us closer to what is other than us.

The Les Vagues company was founded in 2017 by French performer Joachim Maudet, who trained at the Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris. He created his first piece, stɔːriz, in 2019, and the solo Gigi in 2021.
